"A colonial-era icon that serves as a regal gateway to Angkor, this hotel marries Art Deco elegance with modern comforts and curates cultural experiences with care. Just a ten-minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a unique way to explore the birthplace of the mighty Khmer Empire: glide off the beaten track aboard a chauffeur-driven Vespa, winding through the vast Angkor Archaeological Park for an intimate, breezy journey through the lost kingdom’s secrets. As dusk settles, savor a dinner inspired by the original 1936 menu once served in this very setting, then be captivated by a performance of traditional Cambodian Apsara dance, its graceful figures illuminated against ancient stone — a magical finale to a day steeped in history and wonder." - Faye Bradley
"A high-end accommodation option in Cambodia, offering luxury amenities and services." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Five miles from Angkor Wat, this colonial-style hotel with 15 acres of gardens offers accommodations with Art Deco country furnishings, Cambodian paintings, and balconies that open to views of the pool. Guests can relax at the pool surrounded by frangipani trees and dine at Le Grand, which serves Khmer dishes such as stir-fried pork."
"Opened in 1932 in the historic Royal Khmer compound, this landmark hotel was the first luxury lodging in the area, catering to well-heeled adventurers intent on visiting the storied ruins of the temples at Angkor. Everyone from Charlie Chaplin and Charles de Gaulle to Jackie O and, more recently, Angelina Jolie have slept within its dramatic, art deco walls. Just a short walk or tuk-tuk ride to central Siem Reap , the hotel, now part of the Raffles collection, features 15 acres of manicured gardens with more than 20,540 species of tropical plants, making it a relaxing oasis after a day spent exploring the temples. Following a major restoration by David Grace Designs in 2019, the 119 rooms, suites, and villas—some set in the original main building, others overlooking the garden or pool—are now a vision of French windows, hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms with Italian tiling and oversized rain showers.Some have added perks like furnished terraces, high ceilings, or four-poster beds. Elsewhere in the hotel, features like the 1929 metal-and-timber elevator, art deco black-and-white tiles, and classic conservatory have been refurbished but maintained. The large central swimming pool is ringed by loungers, while the tucked-away spa has a sauna, Jacuzzi, and six treatment rooms for excellent, regionally inspired therapies. Both in-house and outside guests frequent the six drinking and dining options, which include the legendary Elephant Bar, the elegant Restaurant Le Grand (serving both Western and Royal Khmer cuisine), and the completely renovated Apsara Terrace, which offers a dinner-cum-cultural dance show three or five nights a week, depending on the season. The on-site gallery and boutique showcase high-quality local goods."
